PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
BSN PROGRAM: This is a 4-year program leading to a Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing (BSN). This nursing program is offered in the traditional semester format over the course of 8 semesters. Class and clinical sessions meet mainly during daytime hours.
In January 2015, San Juan College in partnership with the University of New Mexico (UNM), began admitting BSN students into the statewide common curriculum through participation in the New Mexico Nursing Education Consortium (NMNEC). Students in the UNM partnership BSN program of study (POS) will graduate with an associate degree in nursing (ADN) from San Juan College and with a baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN) from the University of New Mexico. In preparation for BSN program application, the prerequisites and general education courses for application, selection and admission to the baccalaureate degree nursing program are included in this packet. A minimum 30 institutional credit hours are required to be taken through the University of New Mexico in the degree requirements for graduation. Please review the BSN program curriculum with this application or contact Jana Harris ([email protected]) for more details.
Students who graduate from the San Juan College/University of New Mexico Dual Degree Nursing Program will be eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX-RN) for licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN), and may continue on to enroll in a master’s degree in nursing (MSN) program offered at select four-year institutions.

Prior college transcripts will be evaluated for possible transfer credit. If you have previously submitted official transcripts to SJC and have not attended school at that location since last sending transcripts for evaluation, do not request official transcripts be sent again to SJC. An updated official transcript will need to be requested at the end of the summer 2020 semester if course work is completed at a college other than San Juan College. Do not send official transcripts to the SJC Nursing Department. It is student responsibility to confirm that all requested official school transcripts have been received by SJC Admissions. If credit from an AP or credit by exam course has been received, an official score transcript is required for transcript credit.
3. All transcripts must be received by the September 15, 2020 deadline. Transcripts received after the application deadline may not be processed for prerequisite completion.

7. If you are reapplying to the SJC/UNM Dual Degree nursing program, any updated official transcripts will need to be submitted to SJC Enrollment Services and also requested per UNM and NursingCAS application instructions. A new nursing application is required to both SJC Nursing Department and UNM College of Nursing per NursingCAS.
8. Complete all prerequisite courses (26 credit hours) by the end of the summer 2020 semester. If you have transfer/credit courses, verify credit has been posted to your SJC and UNM transcript as applicable.

Previous scores may be eligible if taken during the prior fall application period (October 15, 2019-February 14, 2020) but only the two most recent scores will be considered for the current application period. Students re-applying to the program will be required to retest if prior spring application score is below the minimum eligibility score. Topics for this exam include reading, math, science, English and language usage. Study guides are available in the SJC Bookstore or can be ordered on the ATI (Assessment Technologies Institute) website: http://www.atitesting.com. Additional preparation resources include practice exams and TEAS online study course available through the ATI website and tutoring assistance in the San Juan College Student Success Center.

Notices, important updates or questions will only be sent to your official SJC student email account regarding your application from the nursing department. If you do not include your SJC email on your nursing application or routinely check your SJC email, important information and instructions will be missed that could affect completion of the application process and application eligibility.
13. Indicate your BSN application preference on the nursing application. • BSN as first preference but also requesting consideration for ADN program as second preference: choose this

• BSN preference only: choose this option for consideration for the BSN program only. If final selection point total does not place you in the BSN ranking for selection, points will not be recalculated or BSN applicant ranked in the ADN total points selection.

Nursing Program slots are filled beginning with the highest-ranking students. Completing all requirements does not guarantee acceptance to the BSN/ADN program. Selection points are awarded based on the following:
1. GPA. GPA is calculated from grades achieved in the required 26 credit hour prerequisites. 40% of points will be awarded based on the cumulative 26 credit hour prerequisite GPA.

TEAS for Nursing Pre-Admission Examination: Total Score x 500 = Points for TEAS 100
TEAS for Nursing Pre-Admission Examination Proficiency: Total score 64% or higher = 30 Points Total score 58.7% to 63.9% = 0 Points

San Juan College Student Status: 12 or more prerequisite course credit hours completed at SJC = 30 Points Less than 12 prerequisite course credit hours completed at SJC = 0 Points
Science GPA: Combined GPA or 3.5 or higher from 8 credits in basic and health science courses = 20 Points Less than 3.5 combined GPA from 8 credits in basic and health science courses = 0 Points
SUM OF COMPONENTS = TOTAL POINTS
